We ordered both our Wedding Cake and Groom's Cake from Lynda at Sweet Traditions - her quality of work is INCREDIBLE! She was so kind, easy to work with and brought our visions to life. She even drove to Fredericksburg to deliver. And did I mention her cakes are to die for?! Moist and so delicious - we had guests tell us these were the best cakes they'd ever had! I highly recommend Sweet Traditions to anyone looking for a delicious and gorgeous cake for any celebration - we look forward to ordering our 1 Year Anniversary cake from her!!!

Absolutely the most delicious cakes! Lynda went out of her way to make our daughter’s wedding extra special July 2022. She also make the cakes for our other daughter in December 2016. Lynda is very dependable and makes the most delicious cakes!

My daughter selected Sweet Traditions for her wedding cake designer/baker (December 2022) but after tasting her "samples" the whole family was hooked!
We have already hired her for TWO birthday cakes AND another cake for a special (surprise) occasion. Her cakes are moist, super flavorful and the icing is out of this world! Her artistic skills rival high-end professionals, yet her pricing is "real world"
My birthday is in 2 days and I ALREADY ordered my birthday cake myself weeks ago...
Her consistency in quality and design make her a treasure...we told her we want to put her on "retainer" to ensure we can get our cakes

Lynda at Sweet Traditions was incredibly kind and helpful when it came to making our wedding cake. She is a wonderful baker and the cake turned out excellently. All of her flavors are so good, it was hard to choose 4 for our cake. What I love is that on our one year anniversary, she will make a fresh, top tier for us so we don't have to eat a frostbitten cake.

Lynda did an awesome job for our wedding cake. We did several different flavored layers, but our favorite was the citrus with lemon filling. We actually had too much left over but have been enjoying the cake all week since we didn't get to eat much the night of. Cost was affordable and we loved it!

I had SUCH a wonderful time working with Lynda, of Sweet Traditions. I've never been big on wedding cake, and really just wanted it to taste good. I can't even tell you how hard of a time my fiance and I had choosing which flavor we wanted. They were all so delicious! Lynda made the process easy by offering to do several flavors. She was really easy to communicate with (I usually texted and got a response within minutes), and we were thrilled with how the cake looked, which was icing on the cake- no pun intended. Several of my dad's friends went back for thirds and fourths. I can't wait for our 1 year anniversary to get to experience Lynda's delicious cake, again!!

Lynda is great! I just showed her a picture of what I wanted for the wedding and grooms cake and she made it look identical! Not only did the cake look great, it tasted AMAZING. The chocolate cinnamon flavor seemed to be everyone's favorite, they absolutely devoured it! Great pricing for both cakes as well, she is very reasonable.

Lynda was awesome from the start. Only hard part of the process was figuring out which cake flavors to choose because they were all so darn good. And WOW, it looked amazing on the big day. I was very impressed, they nailed it in every way. We heard of them through word of mouth and will certainly recommend them to anyone needing a fantastic cake.

Lynda was great! Our cake looked incredible, exactly what I wanted! And it tasted amazing, we had people come over the next night just to eat some left overs! We also loved the dessert bar. I'm a huge cookie and brownie fan so it was perfect, and everyone else obviously thought so seeing that there was barely any left at the end of the night!

Linda was amazing to work with! She has traditional and some non-traditional cake flavors-all of which we're amazing! We went with a 4-tiered cake made of lemon cake and almond cake (yum!) and my husband's cake was red velvet. She did a great job with the design, floral topping, -and the cake itself. Almost every single piece of the cake was gone by the end of the night! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a delicious and reasonably priced cake.

Lynda was referred to me by 2 of my co workers. As soon as we had our first consultation with her my mind was put at ease. I showed her a few pictures, tasted all the flavors with my fiancé and discussed various options on pricing ect. She was not pushy and was extremely understanding on us wanting to get back with her at a later time. Once I called her back 2 weeks later she had all our notes and took my deposit over the phone. I agree she doesn't keep in touch throughout the process but it's a wedding cake. How much communication do you really need once details are finalized? The 2 times I called she answered and reassured me that all would be good to go the day of. My bridal cake and my husband's groom's cake were wonderful!!! Taste was on point and the design...I was speechless. I highly recommend Lynda from Sweet Traditions. She was one vendor that I had zero stress or worry throughout my wedding process. Loved it!!

First and foremost our cake was beautiful and delicious! Lynda was very accommodating with what we wanted and last minute changes. Over all she did an excellent job at what we ultimately wanted. The only slight down fall is that communication was slightly slow at times. But before our big day she did touch base with us to finalize our cake and extra sweets we added. Everything turned out great! We are very satisfied with her services.

For starters, Lynda was gracious to make our cakes right after Christmas, when everyone wants a break or a vacation. For our December 27th wedding, we ordered a traditional, multi-tiered bridal cake and a German Chocolate groom's cake. The cakes were festive for the holiday season and tasted delicious. Lynda is sweet and kind to work with, however she is often difficult to get in touch with and rarely responds to phone calls and email. We got the impression she is just super busy, especially on the weekends when we weren't working and trying to get in touch with her. That being said, if you are okay with giving her the reins to design your cake and want a delicious cake that may or may not look how you imagined, but it will look pretty, Lynda is a perfect choice. Our cakes were cute, tasty and moist (albeit so moist it made them hard to cut as they were falling to pieces, but I will take that any day over dry cake). We were pleased with our experience with Lynda and she definitely delivers a great final product. You can't go wrong with her cakes! She even added strawberries/chocolate covered strawberries to the German chocolate cake (that we weren't expecting) and they looked great! She also went out of her way to make a special cake for my sister who is allergic to dairy. Lynda's cakes were a sweet addition to our Christmas wedding.

When picking my vendors, I was extremely picky, and visited 6 cake shops in the San Antonio area. Right when I met Linda, her professionalism and excitement stood out to me. Her amazing cakes stood out even more. She let us try many more different cakes then a lot of the bakeries do. I knew I had found the perfect person to make my wedding cake and my husbands grooms cake.
When we arrived at the reception and were waiting to make a grand entrance I hear my mom say to my sister "the whole thing fell apart." I had a mini panic moment inside my head and thought "pull it together, you just got married, that is all that matters". So when I asked her she told me my husbands cake was completely destroyed and my cake was leaning. I did not let it ruin my night, but wanted my money back, and wanted Linda (the baker) to know what had happened.
When I called after the wedding she blamed it on the venue, she let them know it was too hot in there for the cakes and I guess expected them to do something about it. Linda, take some credibility. She dropped that cakes off at 8am and guests were not arriving until 6pm, of course the AC was not on yet.... What does she do for outdoor weddings? Hope they do not melt and crumble? Anyways.. she told me she would send a check for half the price of the cake. And guess what? I NEVER received my money.
That is why I am giving a 1 star review. If she would of held true to her word, I would have given a higher review. I understand stuff happens like cakes falling apart. But how unprofessional of her to tell someone they are getting money back and not send. I guess she thought we would forget she promised us this....
If you decide to use Sweet Traditions, ask your venue if they will allow the cake to be stored in one of their fridges, if not, do NOT use her.

Lynda did such an amazing job with our cake! The initial tasting was great - she even let me take home the rest of the cake and frosting samples, which I ate for dinner that night. Because my husband hadn't moved to Texas when I booked her, she let us set up a second tasting so he could try everything and we could finalize our flavors. When the cake arrived at our venue, it was gorgeous. Everyone thought it was delicious, and even though you're supposed to save the top layer, we ate our within days of the wedding. I guess it's a good thing Lynda will make us a new anniversary cake. :)

First, the reason she did not get 5 stars. She was pretty difficult to get in touch with. I would send emails, texts, and even call and leave a voicemail and it would be days before she would get back to me. That was frustrating as it was 1-2 weeks before the wedding and we still needed to discuss the cake design.
The cake turned out amazing! It was beautiful and the cake stand that she used really added that extra umph to the feel of the wedding. Her cakes are absolutely delicious! Everyone loved cake and as a matter of fact most people tried to get seconds! It was every things that we were wanting our cake to be.
In lieu of a groom's cake we decided on a dessert table and it was so good! She made an assortment of cookies and brownies and they were all melt in your mouth good!
Lynda was definitely a very sweet lady. At our tasting 3 more family members decided to tag along and she accommodated for them so they could have some cake.

Linda is the only vendor that I never hear from once she got my deposit. We have to wait two weeks and several phone calls later for a receipt for our deposit. You have to call her when you want to meet with her for the final cake design, you have to call her if you want to make a payment. As a bride, I have more on the plate than I need to handle. She does not call if your payment is late. She designed a cake that I was very disappointed in.

Linda was very sweet and professional and she bakes the most delicious cakes. She was also very easy to get in touch with by phone.
The only reason I did not give her 5 stars is because she did not fallow my instructions regarding the decoration/ detail of the bridal cake. I had something very simple and specific in mind but for some reason she went with something else. The bridal cake she brought to the wedding was still very beautiful and no one else besides my mom and I noticed that it was suppose to be any different. I would definitely recommend Sweet Traditions but just make sure that she understands what you want.

Lynda was a "sweet" lady herself. She was quite helpful to a mom that was 1100 miles away and planning from afar. She produced two great looking cakes that both got a lot of compliments for both looks and taste. Everyone was very pleased with her work!!

My husband insisted on a chocolate tres leches cake for his grooms cake. It was SO hard to find! When I called Lynda she said she had never made it but she would try. It was AMAZING!! She needs to add it to her regular menu. There wasn't a peice left at the wedding. I couldnt believe it was all gone! Our guests loved it and wanted more. I highly recommend it!

I had a very clear picture in my mind of what I wanted going in to planning with Lynda, and my cake was absolutely beautiful and perfect! (Simple and elegant buttercream frosting with beautiful flowers here and there as accents.) The cake was moist and really delicious. I did have quite a hard time getting hold of Lynda to coordinate details, and then the day of the wedding somehow the plate of chocolate covered strawberries for the groom's cake table didn't make it off the delivery van and so we did miss that. Even with that, though, the bride's cake was so perfect, beautiful, delicious, and everything I had dreamed of, so the experience was overall positive.

I love the taste of the cakes but in the design I asked for on the cupcakes I was not impressed. Owner is hard to get a hold of email does not work well, best if you call. Lynda is such a sweet lady and makes the experience all about the couple, I looked forward to the cake more then the toasts.

The cake was delicious. It really was so good, and the groomscake (cheesecake) was also outstanding. If you are looking for taste, Lynda of Sweet Traditions is the lady to call.
I felt a little frustrated throughout the wedding process because I had a very hard time getting a hold of Lynda through email. I will say that she is much better over the phone, but still... terrible at email responses. The cake decorations were very pretty, but not exactly what I wanted (she used a different type of flower, which is not a huge deal, but if you are a perfectionist, you may want to be a little wary). Overall, the cakes tasted good and looked good, and the price seemed comparable to other places. I didn't think it was a fantastic deal, but I didn't find anyone cheaper.

We looked all over for a great combo of price and taste and this was one of the easiest decisions to make. 15+ diff flavors to choose from, almost all of which we loved. The cost is unbeatable, and the taste was memorable over other vendors. Even on the wedding day when it was served to 300+, every piece was moist and delicious. We left the decor up to the chef and she did an absolutely outstanding job. The cakes were gorgeous. The best part was to have so many guests ask us for our cake lady's info because they enjoyed them so much!! I highly recommend Sweet Traditions. Fun and friendly service, timely delivery, beautiful presentation and fabulous taste. If you want less stress and an easy check box to mark off, from one bride to another, check this place out. So glad a bride recommended them to me! Best of luck with your special day.

Lynda was great to work with. She was understanding and amiable in every instance! She put up with our detailed questions and took in stride our wanting to double check our flavor choices. The cake looked amazing and tasted even better. It stayed moist even after being frozen and thawed after two months in our freezer. I can't count how many people told us how tasty the cake was, and that they had Never had a wedding cake they enjoyed eating. The price was incredible for the product delivered. After signing up with Lynda, I no longer worried about the cake because she was so professional that I knew we were taken care of and she didn't disappoint in the slightest! I plan to get cakes from her for quiet sometime (whenever the occasion calls for cake, really). Make the smart tasty choice and go see her, you won't regret it. Sadly her website doesn't work and you might have to play the voicemail game, but it is completely worth it!

You can rest easy with Linda as your baker. She can make any flavor cake and any flavor of any kind of icing. She makes amazing cheesecake flavors too! Linda is very easy to do business with and will help you any way she can. Go meet with her for a tasting - you will be glad you did!

First, Lynda is an absolute delight to be around. She was by far the friendliest cake vendor we met with. Second, her cakes are amazingly delicious. Once we tried her cakes, we booked her on the spot. Third, she did an amazing job on both cakes. The wedding cake was beautiful and looked exactly as we had requested. The groom's cake stole the show. My husband wears a polo shirt and khaki shorts almost every day so we chose that to be the cake. Lynda worked off a picture we gave her. It was so life like. She even went a got a real life polo horseman to complete the look. Several guests told us it was the "best groom's cake ever." Would highly recommend Sweet Traditions!!!

The cake that we requested was not overly complicated, but it was done really well, and it was absolutely beautiful. Best of all, it tasted fantastic, which was my number one priority. I thought Lynda was good to work with - very laid back, so don't expect to do a formal contract with her. But, all of her cakes tasted great and I felt they were overall better than the others we tasted. We also requested Key lime pies for the groom's cake, which she delivered without hesitation and turned out well also. My one difficulty was communication, as Lynda is not really good with email and sometimes hard to reach by phone. Persistence pays off though, and we just had to trust that what would be delivered would be what we wanted- and it absolutely was.

Linda was fun to cake plan with! She included our son in the tasting process and had a wide variety of cake flavors to choose from. My husband and I didn't know exactly what we wanted for our cake, so she worked with our theme and gave us a beautiful cake! We didn't have much left over, but what we did we ate within a week! Can't wait to use her for birthdays!

I chose Sweet Traditions because Lynda’s cakes are delicious and very moist. She is also someone who doesn’t do well with email but would always answer her phone. She was super sweet to work with but also a bit flaky. She would always ask me every single detail about my cake when we talked and I was worried I wouldn’t get the right thing the day of the wedding. My actual cake was indeed delicious and beautiful, exactly as we had planned for it to look. I’m not sure we got exactly the right flavor in the bottom tier since we never got to eat it at our wedding but I would choose her again since her cakes were by far the best I tasted at the all the expos I attended.

I stumbled across Lynn's name after looking for months and never was happy with anyone else. Lynn was actually our flower and cake lady. Lynn is fantastic at hearing your idea and coming up with an amazing look. I got so many raves about the cake, which I still get a month later. Lynn is your "cake lady"! A person who truely makes you feel that shes spending time on only your cake.

We did 3 different flavors and I loved that.
